Clean Safe Water in Every Scenario

You don't have to cast you mind back far to remember the catastrophic damage caused by natural disasters across the globe.

From Hurricane Katrina to the floods in the UK this summer and Cyclone Sidr at this moment, nature can be a terrifying force to deal with. It is more often than not, however, the aftermath that causes the real hardship rather than the event itself.

These events cause massive damage to the infrastructure and one of the first things to suffer is the water supply.

Adding further to the misery of those affected, contaminated water can be the only source they have.

If livestock has been killed or sewers backed up, water can be severely compromised which can carry viruses, bacteria, pathogens and metals which can be lethal.

Transporting Water in a Flood
Logistically Impossible - How to Get Water to Where it is Needed

With a single cubic meter of water weighing one tonne, moving it is quantity is nigh impossible in disaster struck areas. In the UK, during the flood relief efforts, 40 million bottles of water where shipped in to the effected area in addition to the bowsers. And even after the taps started flowing again, advice was not to drink from them due to the high risk of contamination.

This is now causing further consternation 6 months after the event in an effort to collect and recycle all of this plastic.

In contrast, a Thirst Aid bag

weighs a fraction of a bottle of water
can be stacked & transported (empty) far more effectively
can filter 350 litres of water before replacing the filter
is rugged and robust, perfect for use in a hostile environment
